  • This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. At 9 years old, Julia Wolfe is a veteran of Burning Man--yes, that Burning Man--as well as the youngest TEDxABQ speaker to date! Her experience in the Nevada desert transformed and inspired her. Julia talks about what she has learned from the infamous festival, including her favorite Burning Man principle: Everyone must participate, NO spectators!
    Since Julia could speak, she has enjoyed presenting ideas to an audience. When she was eight years old, she attended Burning Man with her father. Her experience transformed and inspired her and continues to inform the way she lives.
    Since Julia could say “KUNM,” she has contributed to the live weekly Albuquerque-based public radio show, the Children’s Hour. Her spontaneity and intelligence always delights listeners. She is an elementary student at Escuela Del Sol Montessori. She has traveled to Mexico, France, England, and Russia, which has given her a broad appreciation of the world beyond Albuquerque.
    About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

    Learning lessons at 9 that most adults never learn. That is a win in my book.

    I'm with Recycle Camp and we all love this talk! We're very happy she enjoyed working with us and helping us crush cans. That crusher bike takes some mojo, it is not for the faint of heart.
    I just want to mention that we don't make jewelry with the cans, we collect as much as we can from the event participants (over two tons in 2013), sell them for scrap value and then donate the money to the local school. Here is more info for anyone interested: burningman.org/culture/history/brc-history/afterburn/2013-2/community/recycle-camp/

    That was so well narrated. I recently made a video of the 10 principles of Burning Man incorporating the Multiverse 2020 theme this year. You can watch it in my channel.

    Having gone to Burning man 4 times I have to say it honestly disgusts me that parents are so irresponsible to bring their children to such a harsh enviroment. A long time Burner who'm I camped with my 3rd year on the playa told me that her 12 year old daughter really really wanted to go for the last couple of years. Her response to here daughter "You can go when you are capable of taking care of yourself and another person." They preach radical self reliance which is wonderful, but how can a child possibly exercise such a principle. More than enough times to make me want to puke would I see a small child no more than 8 or 9 years old wandering back to their camp not accompanied by any adult, in a dust storm, with very little to no protection on. Or worse, when you see some new wave hippy mother sitting in the temple or even in the middle of the playa in the scorching desert sun with a baby on there back that looks like it's being nothing but severely tortured. They really do need to make the festival 18 and up, or at the most 16 and up. Simply put, it's an adult playground, not a place for a child.

      +beanwithbacon You're 100% wrong. Sure there are irresponsible people of all stripes there (and everywhere where else) but the vast majority of adults who bring children there are responsible with those kids and the kids really do end up some of the most amazing adults. You'll soon see this to be true but people like you will ignore the blatant facts and just 'feel" it's "wrong" on some level and allow your confirmation bias to win. I'd rather have all the kids and less folks like you making assumptions about them an their families - they grok the spirit of the event - somehow, with all your additional years, you missed it.

      Sondra Carr I understand why parents may think it's a good idea to bring their children to events such as BM. However from my experience of living this lifestyle if you will for years and seeing how kids raised being brought to things like Burning Man turn out to be some of the most ill adjusted adults ever I can't agree it's a good idea. Let them discover that world on their own, and decide for themselves if they want to be a part of it. Forcing them into something so radical is just as evil as Christians brainwashing their children from a young age. This is coming from someone that loves the Burner culture and ideals, however I do feel that their our some things better discovered on ones own instead of being forced into from such a young age. Telling me I grok the spirit of the event is just asinine. You don't know my history or what has lead me to feel this way at all.

    • @sondracarr6974
      @sondracarr6974 9 лет назад +3

      +beanwithbacon, there you go with your assumptions again. Because you happened to be hanging with the folks who force their kids to do this, you assume all the rest do too, however many don't. Their kids choose to go. But what actually happened is that you chose the wrong friends so your perspective is skewed . Confirmation bias is funny like that. It blinds us to the world as it really is and convinces us that our view is the totality of the evidence. The key to catching yourself is when you find yourself conflating your anecdotal experience with evidence. Any scientist or researcher can help you to understand the problem.

      So you're telling me that the small baby I once saw strapped to some new way hippy mom's back while she was sitting in the hot sun crossed legged with her eyes clothes for easily a half hour or more chose to go to Burning Man? Or how about the 2 year old child I met on the pirate ship in 2012 who's mother proudly boasted that she had brought him there every year of his life, while a dust storm picked up and this poor kid was stuck on the bow of the ship with no goggles or mask of any kind.
      You're assuming things about me, assuming I've only hung out with the "wrong" people. I'm not only talking about people I know personally, but parents I've met at the burn who had brought their kids with them.
      Multiple burner mothers I've talked to about this share my point of view, many of them have said to me that they will let their child go when they are capable of taking care of themselves and another person. Radical self reliance is one of the 10 principles is it not?
      Once again, I've never met a child who was raised being brought to festivals and event such as Burning Man that was able to be well adjusted in actual society.
